My guess is extra scrutiny will be given to all packages coming in from China, to ensure no one is trying to bring in “the bug” in some survivable transport environment. It will likely delay shipments currently enroute.
I’m OK with it. There isn’t anything urgent that I’m waiting for.

Doesn’t protect against mudane diseases you should be wiping/washing a torch against to begin with, scaremongering or not.

Copper foil is better. Copper has an antimicrobial effect.

Hope it turns out to be not much worse than the flu because it looks to me like containment in China was a complete failure.

My sister told me this joke.
She might have read it on Facebook.
Q. How do you fix coronavirus?
A. Add a lime to it!
If the fatalities start rising again as zombies, I’m outta here.
Oh yeah, blame your sister… :laughing:

All sorts of creatures have their own suite of coronaviruses infecting them, and every so often one jumps into a new species. Humans seem to be more vulnerable to viral infection from other mammals (naturally) and from birds. No one is sure what species 2019-nCoV came from, although all the evidence is that it started in a particular market in Wuhan, likely from direct blood transmission in some sort of butcher shop. The virus appears to cause a rapidly developing viral pneumonia in some patients, and the problem with that is that there is very little to be done. Supportive care is all there is to offer – as medical professionals continually remind the general public, antibiotics are useless against viruses. And although we have more actual antiviral agents than we used to, the selection in hand is not very useful against the coronaviruses. So what does biopharma research have to offer?

A reliable source, with links out to other resources.
That takes us back to the open questions about the spread of the virus. For news on this and other issues, Stat has been doing a good job rounding up the reliable information, and they’re doing it in front of their paywall. Here’s one of their latest , on the shift from trying to contain the virus to dealing with the fact that it may be too late for that strategy to work.

It's just a stupid joke.
It's not meant to be taken seriously.
My whole family thought it was funny.
Look up the word "levity."
It's an important concept that helps people get through difficult times.
